Adleman was activated from the 15-day disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Louisville, Zach Buchanan of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

in 19.1 innings of work in Cincinnati, Adleman accumulated a 3.72 ERA with 16 strikeouts. He will head back to Triple-A where owned a 3.16 ERA in 42.2 innings. The 28-year-old will most likely rejoin the big league club when rosters expand in September.

"I know with obliques in the past, if you try to rush back sometimes they can come back to bite you. It's definitely been longer than I thought but I was glad I was able to get the time to get it right. Now I feel like it's just about ready."
